| Summary: | This paper develops a methodological reflection on urban framework. Based on a extensive bibliography, it aims to define notions used in urban studies and point out pertinent indicators to identify different urban levels. We propose to generalize across metropolitan France, a method developed in western France in the framework of the research program of the UMR ESO called DYTEFORT (Dynamics and territorial land in rural areas in transition from Grand West of France). This allows us to list and cartography functional urban hierarchy in France. It defines and characterizes the rural / urban split line current. It shows the reversal of the demographic dynamics of the French urban hierarchy for 60 years. Finally, this work highlights the lack of tool to analyze the poles in suburban areas. |
